Old Crown Round Fell Race

Hesket Newmarket, United Kingdom • 6 Sep 2025

Old Crown Round is a category AL fell race organized by Northern Fells Running Club. It covers 36km with 2200m of ascent. The start and finish are in Hesket Newmarket at the Old Crown Pub, and the course forms a loop of the Northern Fells, with checkpoints on Carrock Fell, Blencathra, Skiddaw House, Skiddaw, Knott and High Pike.
